GTK+-2.0.9 is now available for download at:
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v2.0/
This release fixes a critical bug in 2.0.8, which caused recent metacity
versions to crash.
It is source and binary compatible with previous releases in the
GTK+-2.0 series.
What is GTK+
============
GTK+ is a multi-platform toolkit for creating graphical user
interfaces. Offering a complete set of widgets, GTK+ is suitable for
projects ranging from small one-off tools to complete application
suites.
GTK+ has been designed from the ground up to support a range of
languages, not only C/C++. Using GTK+ from languages such as Perl and
Python (especially in combination with the Glade GUI builder) provides
an effective method of rapid application development.
GTK+ is free software and part of the GNU Project. However, the
licensing terms for GTK+, the GNU LGPL, allow it to be used by all
pdevelopers, including those developing proprietary software, without
any license fees or royalties.
